Popples lunchbox logic: a Popple on a lunchbox, sitting in a lunchbox… eating a banana. Peak 80s recursion, zero notes. 🍌🧸 #Popples #VintageLunchbox #80sToys #RetroKids #VHSNostalgia #SleepoverTrading #ToyCollector #AnalogMagic

New year, new attitude. 💪📼 If Cher can turn a VHS workout into a full-on lifestyle moment, you can probably keep that resolution past January. No promises on the leotard, though.

Force Captain Adora reporting for shelf duty 💫⚔️ Custom magic that looks like it jumped straight off a lost Princess of Power concept sheet. This feels like the figure you dreamed of seeing at the mall toy store in 1986 and never did. Absolutely display worthy. Absolutely sleepover approved. 📼✨
